Yes, that's true and I am aware of it. But at the moment I am in the 
need to create one big volume, because I have to copy a big bunch of old 
  user-directories to the new fileserver, in order to turn off the old 
nfs-server. Most of the directories will not be used in future, so it 
would be much of work to splice them up in smaller volumes. I'm planing 
to turn the old nfs-server into an additional afs-fileserver and then 
move the used directories to smaller volumes...
